Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown has called for the Gillard government to seek an injunction in the United States to stop the Japanese whaling slaughter currently underway in Antarctic waters.

A Seattle district court has thrown out an application by Japan for a preliminary injunction to stop Sea Shepherd’s anti-whaling campaign. If the case goes to trial the court will hear evidence on the legality or otherwise of whaling.

“Court commentary makes it clear that the Australian government could succeed in stopping the Japanese in the US court system which Japan has appealed to,” Senator Brown said in Adelaide.

If world government’s were rated on moral leadership like Moody’s rates economies, while Greece’s Papademos may fair worse than Austalia’s on the economic bottom line, Australia’s Gillard Government would fair worse on the triple bottom line, even before Ethics and Taxes.

Gillard has done nothing since she rolled Prime Minister Rudd, except renege on every promise she made. Why would she do anything now?
